Rectangle sleeping bag to pea pod convert

Ok so I bought my sewing machine yesterday and my bag is here now to chop it up. The way I'm thinking about doing this is basically just above the zipper sewing 2" rectangle the width of the bag then cutting the middle of it open and sew velcro to each of the loose pieces.

I think I understand your diagram up there. Is it a rectangular sleeping bag that is oriented just like it would be on the ground,zipper is on the side with hammock running thru where a person would normally be? Is the velcro hole toward the r/h side of center a head hole/ breathing hole.

The potential problem is see here is how you will cinch it up around the ends. If there is a drawstring channel in each of your endcaps that may help, but I don't know for sure.
